garlic bread

Does anyone really need a recipe for garlic bread? I mean, garlic + butter + bread = it’s impossible to imagine a bad outcome. And yet I do use one. I mean, prior to today it was in my head and did not include baguette weights because despite the impression this site might give you, I’m not that crazy upstairs. I use a recipe because like most people in the year 2016, I don’t take carb consumption lightly, and garlic bread is even more of a rare luxury. Because of this, if I’m going to make it I don’t want it to be almost right but could use a little more salt, or too much garlic and too little butter, and absolutely not pale and soggy or crouton-hard. I want each time I make it to be like the best time I ever had it, a beacon of bronzed edges, lightly drenched with garlic butter with a whiff of herbs and a kiss of salty heat.

what you'll need
butter, garlic, pepper flakes, salt

I want this.

Woo-hoo for you! Today’s the last installment of The Kitchn’s seven-day Spring Refresh. Before we get to high-fives, though, you’ve still got one small assignment that will make a big difference down the line.

I’ve yet to meet a cook who loves doing the dishes as much as cooking. The reward of a clean sink just isn’t as exciting as the promise of a great meal. But doing the dishes can be an opportunity to experience a little bit of mindful time alone, if you treat your sink like a spa. It only takes a few minutes and it will make the non-cooking time you spend in the kitchen so much more enjoyable.

A handful of years ago, I popped into a cafe to grab a quick lunch and was delighted to discover savory muffins on the menu. Since then I’ve made savory muffins a part of my baking repertoire. This version of a savory muffin takes advantage of one of spring’s most abundant (and certainly most beautiful) vegetables, radishes, and pairs them with goat cheese for a peppery, tangy twist.
